------- Comment #3 from apapirovski at mac.com  2008-04-16 19:00 PDT -------
As far as I'm concerned the spec says something different. In CSS 2.1
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#position-props) this section was
removed:

"For 'top' and 'bottom', if the height of the containing block is not specified
explicitly (i.e., it depends on content height), the percentage value is
interpreted like 'auto'."

and there is no loger any mention of special case for height auto resulting in
top: 0; which leads me to believe that we should be calculating the content
height for the container and then using that as base value. (So not 100% in the
case of body, but whatever the content height is.)

Have I missed something in the spec? (I've got a patch ready for syncing-up our
behavior to Firefox 3, which is only applying percentage top and bottom values
if the parent height is either fixed or percentage, not auto.)
